Question

A company called Hands Up located in Texas manufactures latex gloves used in the medical industry. Hands Up purchased a new machine that will enable them to make gloves in various colors. It was purchased on April 1, 2004 for $210,000. Even though the machine was assembled in Chicago, Hands Up was required by the state of Texas to pay Texas sales tax of $14,220 because the Chicago company also had operations in Texas. Hands Up was required to pay $7,200 to have the machine transported to Texas. Upon arrival a specialized crew had to install the new machine at a cost of $4,440. The machine was fully operational by April 12, 2004. The machine’s technology is actually two years old, and the market value in 2002 was $225,000. Hands Up estimates the useful life of the asset to be 10 years. The estimated value of the machine at its replacement time is determined by Hands Up to be $54,000. Hands Up uses the straight-line method for depreciation of machinery. It is company policy to prepare adjusting entries only at the end of the fiscal year, which is December 31.
